LQ4 Combo Critque Been reading on here non stop for the last couple weeks. Im wanting to build a lq4 I have sitting around for my 1968 camaro. Im looking for advise, tips on the combo. Im wanting to do all stock bottom end, 799 heads stock, ls1 intake. Im not sure what to get on a cam though. I would like to be able to throw down 350 rwhp through my 4l80e I plan on running. Any advise or tips would be great. Thanks

Do you have a converter? This will hugely effect camshaft choice. What type of rpms are you wanting to shift at? Whats the vehicle weight/gearing? What type of usage....weekend cruiser?

No I dont have a convertor yet so thats up in the air as well. Car is about 3400 lbs with 3.73 gears. I dont honestly know where I would want my shifting rpm's to be honest. Ya this is just a weekend car that im hoping to take to the strip every now and then.

As for the ls1 intake..as said at least get a ls6 or imo a ls2 intake to reap the benefits of the 90mm t-body...but afaik a truck intake makes the same as a ls6 to around 5500 rpm with a mid 220 cam...
But for off the shelf a 224r cam and a 3000 stall speed converter would put a smile on our face
